For HOTEL CO, those who wish to be part of the sniper/scout team will need to have the OK first from their squad leader. Final decisions will be made by the LT and other command.

The reason for this policy is to ensure not only the safety of the players being shot at by snipers, but also to ensure the safety of the sniper/scout team... This AO is gigantic. Friggin large. You can get lost.

The fact that you own a sniper rifle does not a sniper/scout make.

Even if and when a sniper/scout element is determined, those players will need to be able to operate as a rifleman as part of their squad so a regular AEG will be needed.
